Noggie Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I have an 80's station on my phone when I'm at the gym & this Lauper tune plays regularly. Always makes me smile & remember the era. I'd heard it so much that I pulled out my DVDs to watch where it was used in Vice. I always loved the use of the music in that scene. Now I've only had the DVDs about a year & haven't watched the pilot yet. I watched it a lot back in the day. So I play the scene & realize it's not Lauper but a cover!!! I didn't notice it back in the 80's or when I watched the episode over the years. Is this how it originally aired?? It's still really well done but I was surprised to hear a cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted December 19, 2015 Administrators Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 It is indeed a cover, a pretty good cover at that. I didn't notice the first time I watched it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Great ear, Noggie! I never noticed this at all. I would love it if somebody could check their NBC tapes to see which version was used back then. I also just learned that this was not originally a Cyndi Lauper song. Here is the original version by Robert Hazard in 1979: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
